  1. I'm just going to stop using adobe. The new interface makes what I wan't to do impossible and frustrating. Go back to the older interface and check with your users before making untested and badly designed changes. Mac Preview for me from now.

  2. From initial versions of Adobe Reader, its search box behaves (in Windows) a different way than any other dialog box.
    When I try to select part of the searched text to change it, it lets me select it, and only when I release the mouse button, it selects everything.
    It is not possible to accustom it, because the whole Windows environment behaves different way.
    So it makes me angry every day for decades!
    I suppose there is not any settings or workaround for this problem, so this behavior should be changed.
    BTW, I do not understand why this was made…

  3. I lost 2 days thinking I could put things back - 2 DAYS of WORK!!!!!!
    Adobe didn't even tell me they changed my program, the way it looked, operated etc! It took me an hour to find the phone number. Then to have me tell them RESET (which I don't remember where it was) was going to take me back to my app from before the update. SHAME ON ADOBE!!!! We have to get our work done over the weekend now. I want a REFUND and Acrobat should have had more insight on this before rolling the update out to…

  4. Please bring back the open pdf's in new windows option. I use Alt-Tab to switch between documents. For some reason the development team didn't think that was important anymore and excluded this option in the new interface. Bring it back! stop taking away features.

  5. New Acrobat has at least 5 menu / tool locations that can not be hidden and panels that pop out.

    To call this messy, annoying and cluttering is an under statement.

    At least the top menu bar has been slimmed down compared to the prior version.

    The top window edge has enough space for all items.

    The bottom edge status bar can stay.

    ALL OTHER BARS SHOULD BE COMPELTELY UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE USER FOR CONTENT AND VISIBILITY - AT THE APPLICATION LEVEL, NOT PER DOCUMENT.

    Ideally, for my uses, Acrobat should open one windows PER document (another bug/omission,…

  7. Why is every Acrobat update slower and constantly throwing up ads and "features" bubbles like a 2006 website? I cringe having to open PDF's now. I hate what Adobe as a whole has become.

  8. The new update is just horrible. Mutch less userfriendly then the previous version. Would gladly go back to the old one. Please do a serious update to the new verison.
    The signing is almost impossible. Sometimes it workes and other times is does not. The 100 choices for the signing makes it confusing and hopless to use.
    The application hangs/freezes all the time.

    I would not recommend it to anyone after this update.

  9. Remove the 10 million billion trillion popups when initially running after downloading/signing up for a trial. Also, if you can't get the program to run at least as well as Microsoft word for editing a document... no one will.

  10. The new update seems to be SO SLOW and crashed on me twice.
    I was unable to figure out how to employ the delete-an-item function in "Edit" (by dragging over a section and clicking delete) in the new format and switched back to the previous format to be able to do this. Super annoyed.

  11. Acrobat previously had an option to have buttons for "Preview View" (using a left arrow icon) and "Next View" (using a right arrow icon). This is no longer the case in the new user interface. Please allow this to be added to the customizable toolbar. Thank you.

  12. Okay - so this morning, Acrobat decided to switch into "new acrobat" mode. Yay! Except for the fact that all of my documents open in new tabs in the same window now - which is terribly inconvenient for me. What's worse, is that the option to turn this off has been removed from Preferences. 30 minutes ago, I could go Edit->Preferences->General and clear the "Open documents as new tabs in the same window" option. Now, after it switch to "new acrobat" mode, this option is no longer available. So I switched back to "old acrobat". Boo!

  13. Fichier ouvert dans 2 fenêtres.
    1 page contient un problème et l'autre page contient la solution "à l'envers".
    Si on fait une rotation sur la 2ème page, celle-ci s'effectue AUSSI à tort sur la 1ère page.

  14. Your new "internet/mobile friendly" interface being forced on desktop users is bad customer service. It makes me seriously consider using/purchasing a competitor's product and never coming back to Adobe.

  15. Add ability to hide all unnecessary buttons from the toolbar. If the window is reduced to the size of a DinA4 page almost the whole toolbar is used up by the start and all tools tab and the share and login button. This is a huge disruption to the workflow. I earlier versions this was not an issue with options like creating custom toolbars

  16. The new "intuitive" layout is HORRIBLE. I do not understand what your motivation was for changing literally everything and moving things around to random locations. It makes no sense whatsoever.

  17. Often times I need to rename files. Windows explorer changes correctly. However, the display name in Adobe still has the old name. This is extremely confusing when multiple files are open. I often review different versions of the same file and the names will pop up the same and is very hard to keep straight. This has happened for quite some time and with different versions of Adobe.

  18. when combining 2 or more open files, when clicking to close one of them, the other will close too.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. open 2 pdf files
    2. 'combine files into a single PDF' (combine open files) -> you will have file1, file2, Binder1
    3. click X to close file1 ->
    -> file1 and file2 will both close.
    Expected:
    only file1 closed.

  20. This needs to be massively cleaned up. Tools don't work intuitively, workflow is choppy at best. Understand new functionality is being added, but, the smooth fit-for-purpose flow the older versions had where you can get in and out, get your job done is massively broken so badly that we all actively avoid using the tool as much as possible until we have absolutely no choice. It feels like it's trying to become a destination that sinks a massive amount of time. I want my tools to be quick, easy, efficient and get out of them and on with my core…
